According to a news release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, Martinez's mother said her daughter called November 12, using a friend's cell phone, and said "she was going to work on a marijuana farm and would see her in seven to eight days."

When she did not hear from her daughter, Martinez's mother filed a missing person's report on November 18.

On Monday Martinez, 22, appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"and explained what happened.

"First of all, a lot of people thought I lied to my mother saying that I was on a farm when I was actually on 'The Bachelor,' but no I had already been eliminated from the show," she said. "I just decided to go to the mountains with my friends for a couple weeks and I was there for six or seven days without phone service ... I thought I was going to have phone service and I told my mother that I would."

On about the sixth or seventh day of being away, Martinez said she had "this weird feeling" that she needed to go home.

"So I got in my car, drove to where I had service, called my parents and then yeah come to find out only 12 hours before my mother had called the Humboldt Sheriff's Department saying that I was missing," Martinez said.

She said she has friends who have a marijuana farm.

"To set the record straight, I am not a weed farmer. I'm still a nanny in L.A.," she said.
